I'm looking at a campground that only has 15 amp electric service.  I'm fairly new to my pop up, and it say 30 amps.  Does that mean it will work up to 30 amps or I need a campsite with 30 amps.

Thanks for the help

You might need an adapter - if your popup has a plug that's 3-prong with three blades that are at offset angles - and if the outlets are the standard household current outlets.

Thanks for the info, I do have the adapter already in the camper.

If you use many electrical high draw items you may pop the circuit at the power pole.  Things like an AC unit, microwave, electric heater, etc can be used but usually one at a time on a 15 amp plug.  Also there may not be enough power for your AC unit to run properly.:)
